Vladimir Guerrero, arguably the best prospect to ever play on Harrisburg’s City Island, earns his final Silver Slugger Award – and eighth overall in his Hall of Fame career – 16 years ago today.
Guerrero’s latest award comes after he hits .300 in 2010 with 29 homers and 115 runs batted in during his one and only season as the Texas Rangers’ designated hitter.
Guerrero spends one more season in the majors with Baltimore, batting .290 for the Orioles in 2011 to cap a 16-year major league career in which he bats .318 with 449 homers and 1,496 RBIs in 2,147 games for the Expos, Angels, Rangers and Orioles.
